We own and love our two dogs! We live on 2 1/2 acres so our dogs have plenty of room to run and be walked. My husband works from home and is able to let our dogs out multiple times per day. We usually go for a longer walk in the evening and play outside. We have two dogs, a pug and a golden retriever that get along well with other dogs. We also have two children who love and play with our dogs often. We have plenty of room indoor and outdoor for your dog to play. We crate our Golden Retriever puppy only when we leave our house. Our pug is able to stay out. We do have one extra small-medium crate.
